statement/bio

Sally Clegg is an artist, writer, and educator from Pelham Massachusetts. Her work emerges from a fascination with evolving comfort/delight relationships between people and things. Her interdisciplinary studio practice is rooted in expanded printmaking, and informed by research. Clegg integrates lived experience, history, popular culture, literature, and philosophy as material for artmaking, leveraging personal anecdote and humor in an effort to reveal the complexity, absurdity, and poignance implicit in our relationships to objects and to ourselves.

Clegg holds an MFA in Art from The University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design, and a BA in Art & English from Goucher College. She has exhibited nationally and internationally, and her work can be found in permanent collections at Yale University, The New York Public Library, and elsewhere. She is a 2018 Massachusetts Cultural Council Fellow in Drawing & Printmaking, and her work has appeared in ASAP/Journal, BOMB Magazine, Sculpture Magazine, and Hyperallergic. She is a lecturer in Art & Design at the University of Michigan.
